Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Wallpapers messed up

Hi,
I'm rebuilding my pc after a bad crash and I'm trying to get Ultramon (v2.7.1 x64) working as I had it before. Everything seems to be ok except for my wallpapers. I have it set up with a different image for each monitor. Setup is:
Monitor 2 Monitor 1 (primary) Monitor 3
1400*1050/32/60 1920*1080/32/60 1400*1050/32/60
NVidia Quadro NVS285 NVidia Quadro NVS285 NVidia GeForce 8400GS
CenterStyle CenterStype CenterStyle

The image on 2 is ok. The image on 1 is left shifted (looks like it is displayed in 1400*1050 area) and the image on 3 is left shifted where it appears partially on monitor 1. Task bars are ok and application windows display properly.

I tried changing the style from center to stretch proportional and changing resolutions.

If I moved the monitors into a 1 2 3 configuration in display settings I can then get the wallpapers to display properly. Only problem is that my desktop is no longer contiguous (mouse pointer doesn't move left to right properly - follows screens). I can also get everything to work perfectly IF I make the left monitor (2) my primary. Once monitor 1 is the primary the wall paper is messed up again.

This used to work before my system blew up so it's probably something simple. I'm just not getting it.

Forgot to mention - this is on a Win7 x64 system w/all OS patches.

You'll get this with version 2 of UltraMon on Windows 7/Vista if you have a monitor to the left of the primary, upgrading to version 3 will fix the problem.

Thanks, that was my problem. I was installing the old version. ;)
